Essay / Research Paper Abstract
3 pages in length. Rabinowitz's argument in No Crueler Tyrannies : Accusation, False Witness, and Other Terrors of Our Times speaks to the unjust element in the justice system, where innocent people can be arrested, put on trial and convicted of crimes not only did they not commit but based upon wholly inadequate and unsubstantiated evidence. One readily compares the author's enlightening – if not utterly unsettling – accounts with that of the Salem witch trials where personal agenda was the sole motivation that fueled one of history's most horrendous miscarriages of justice. No additional sources cited.

accusations, the invasion by investigators, and the initial arrests, in their minds they were clear about one thing: at any moment, the authorities would rush forward to announce they had
made a mistake. The Amiraults found, immediately after the first accusation, that talk or explanations from them were apparently the last thing anyone connected with the investigation wanted" (Rabinowitz,
2004, p. 9). The real story of what occurred and that which spread like wildfire are as opposite as they can be: Gerald changed clothes on a four-year-old boy
who had wet them during naptime. What was a completely acceptable action was turned into an flagrant lie from a child who had a history of behavioral issues that
